The Insiders: Get your tickets to the (actual) gun show

We told ourselves that we wouldn’t start today’s column by flexing sarcastically and offering two tickets to the gun show, but who are we kidding? Of course that’s how we’re going to start it. Really, though, you can get however many tickets you want to the gun show, because there’s one taking place today at Everett Arena from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. It’s the wrap-up of the two-day event put on by DiPrete Promotions.

We’re honestly not entirely sure of all the stuff that is available at an actual gun show – we’ve only ever had experience with the aforementioned ones used in punchlines – but we’d assume guns and gun-related paraphernalia. There should be plenty on display for gun enthusiasts – and checking-stuff-out enthusiasts – to take a peek at. Find out for yourselves and stop by this morning or afternoon. Tickets are $8, and children under 12 are free, assuming they are accompanied by an adult.

Also today, you can catch some live music at Hermanos, as Gerry Beaudoin will play beginning at 6:30 p.m.
